2008 Goodie Bag Swap - Hosted by Steph-a-nie - Signups closed

Details to come. Basically you make a item or items for each participant and send to the host. After everything is in, a package with all of the goodies will be sent to each participant. Last time we got lots of good stuff. Don't miss out this year.

Each person makes or buys small gifts (spending no more than $1 each)…one for each participant (excluding themselves). Next you send your items in to me, the swap hostess. Include $5 for priority mail postage. Once all of the goodies are received, I will sort them and package them and mail them to each of the participants. Then 2-3 days later you receive a BOX of GOODIES!!!

Signup by April 15th and send off your packages so I’ll receive them by June 30th. That gives you plenty of time to make something, find something or find someone to make you something. Items should all be the same but color variations, etc. are okay. It should be a gift that you yourself would love to receive. Last year we received hats and purses and dresses as well as miniatures to help with diorama scenes. Did I mention that this swap can be relatively inexpensive? In fact I suggest that you don’t go over a dollar for each gift.

Sound fun? Then sign up today!!! Total number of participants won’t be known until April 16th, but at that point I will send out an email with the total number of participants as well as my address. Then you’ll have until the end of June to get your goodies to me.

FDsG Anniversary Swap - Anniversary 2008 - Hosted by Dolla

Happy 6th Anniversary FDsG (March 1). This is a twist on the traditional swap. The item is either a fashion or set of accessories in the FDsG colors, purple and black. Accent colors can be: white, silver or gold. The item(s) can be handmade or purchased. For a male or female figure. 1/6th scale only.

If you are sending a fashion, then it should be the complete fashion. What I mean by complete is, not just a pair of pants or a single top. Please, no accessories.

If you are doing a set of accessories, it will need to be more than one item. At least three items. Accessories include, but are not limited to, shoes, jewelry, hat, purse, tote, wrap, stole, boa and whatever else you can think of.

Please try to match the color exactly. No lavender, lilac, etc. Your item can also be a solid black or solid purple. Sorry, the accent colors are not to be used alone. They are to "accent" the item.

Swapsters will mail the item to me and I will add something to it and send it to your swapner. Your swapner will remain anonymous until you get the items.

This will be a lot of fun. I'm not going to say what I'll include, but you know it will be good. I have loads of things already onhand to work from. ;P

Think of a Polka Dots Party. It's all about the dots! But lots of other things go well with dots. Use your imagination. :)

The item (s) can be handmade, store bought/purchased, have on hand or a combination of all. Items of the swap don't necessarily have to be doll related. -- Swapped items could be: stationary, scrap booking supplies, party favors, doll clothes, Doll and clothes, diorama props, photography props or backgrounds. -- Just some ideas.

As long as it's something that has to do with dots, it should work. If you want more ideas, search for Polka dots in your favorite search engine.

Members participating in this swap will need to agree on items being swapped. In the sign-up database, it will ask -- Will you accept a non-doll item? If you do not want non-doll related items, please make note of that when signing-up. Also, if you'd like, you can make a note of what you'd like to swap when signing up, to help better match partners.

Participants will be partnered on Mon. June 18th. The partner list will be posted in group, and by private email.

Gift/Goodie Bag - Hosted by Steph-a-nie

This activity is themed for Spring, or a late April Fools day, for Easter or Tax Day!!

How It Works:
The participants contribute a small gift for each participant. The gifts are sent to Stephanie. Once all of the goodies are received, she will sort them, package them and mail a goodie bag to each of the participants. If everything arrives on time, you'll receive your goodies by Easter.

The idea came from another club. People sent clothes, pillows, crocheted ponchos, diorama accessories (they even received the cutest set of carmel and candy apples!!)---all kinds of things. You can go as inexpensive or as elaborate as you want. Handmade items are great and inexpensive. "In scale" items are fine too! With our multiple themes (Spring, Easter, April Fool's Day, Tax Day), your creative juices can run wild!!! All gifts must be doll or doll craft related.

Superstar Fixer-Up Project -

This is not a contest. It is similar to a kit project except your kit is simply a blond Superstar doll who needs tender loving care. The idea is to fix her up to keep, swap or use in some other project of choice. You can dress her up in a ready-made outfit or fully customize her. You choose what and how much you do to/with her.

The only requirement is to take photos of her after she has been transformed. Photos are due August 31st. There will be an Album in the Photos area for your completed project.

The dolls are in pretty good shape. Previously loved, I'll call them. There are some tips below.

As people signup, I'll send their doll out. There is no signup due date. I'm going to do this one too. Sounds like fun. :)

Tips:

Doll Haircare: Dolls having a bad hair day, can have their hair washed in liquid dish soap or any shampoo (V05 is great). Then give them a liquid fabric softener rinse. Snarly hair can be combed out during the liquid fabric softener rinse. Just put the rinse on and brush through starting at the bottom while moving upward as the hair untangles. When you can brush the hair smoothly from root to end, it is ready. Sometimes you may need to leave the rinse in for awhile (30 minutes or more). Sometimes overnight. Rinse it out and you have gorgeous shiny hair. My favorite is a pet brush and comb. More brushing than combing.

Removing teeth: There are two techniques. Do them at your own risk. http://fashiondollswap.tripod.com/patterns/closedmouth.htm

Photo due date: Sometime this Summer 2006 (August 31st)

April-Doll's Birthday Bash - Special Event hosted by April -

April-Doll has a birthday coming on August 14th. Our own April, April-Doll's guardian, is hosting a birthday party.

You are invited to send a doll to this special birthday party. I'm announcing this event now to give you time to put together a doll if you wish. You can send any sixth scale doll, male or female. This is similar to the camps you've heard of in the dollie community.

Details:
The dolls will go shopping, siteseeing, attend a barbeque and then a big birthday party. This is sort of a dollie get-to-gether since we didn't do the real get-to-gether this year. Dolls should arrive by the 8th of August. April will be returning them the end of August. This will give her plenty of time for photoshoots. You are required to cover the shipping cost both ways for your doll(s). You can either send the funds along with the doll or postage stamps to cover the cost of the return trip. Each doll will bring home party favors.

This will be so much fun. Think about sending one of your gorgeous girls or guys.
